Sanman Pradhan f7e775c469 hwmon: (pmbus/ina233) Fix error handling and sign extension in shunt voltage read
ina233_read_word_data() reads MFR_READ_VSHUNT via pmbus_read_word_data()
but has two issues:

1. The return value is not checked for errors before being used in
   arithmetic. A negative error code from a failed I2C transaction is
   passed directly to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(), producing garbage data.

2. MFR_READ_VSHUNT is a 16-bit two's complement value. Negative shunt
   voltages (values with bit 15 set) are treated as large positive
   values since pmbus_read_word_data() returns them zero-extended in an
   int. This leads to incorrect scaling in the VIN coefficient
   conversion.

Fix both issues by adding an error check, casting to s16 for proper
sign extension, and clamping the result to a valid non-negative range.
The clamp is necessary because read_word_data callbacks must return
non-negative values on success (negative values indicate errors to the
pmbus core).
